CDP offers free technical-financial advice for the planning, design and implementation of local public transport works that involve significant investment for the region.

2. Design

• Preparation of tender documentation for awarding the PFTE, PD/PE*;
• Evaluation of the suitability of using a PPP as an alternative to a traditional contract (so-called "Value for Money Assessment");
• Support during the authorisation process.

3. Awarding Contracts

• Identification of the type of tender with a focus on ensuring efficient integration between the system and the infrastructure, sharing the most successful national experiences with the PA;
• Defining the participant qualification criteria;
• Identification of elements and tender documentation (contract, specifications, etc.);
• In the case of PPP contracts, support for the economic-financial aspects, the identification of risks and associated financiability to:
